Sparkles – Melbourne

Sparkles the rescue greyhound in Melbourne


Sparkles, affectionately known as ‘Sparky’ is a gorgeous blue and white greyhound girl looking for her next adventure – a new home! A total gem with a sweet disposition and an award-winning roach. Sparkles is a bit of a smooch, and will ninja-kiss you when you’re least expecting it! We’re told that her cuddles are second to none – she just loves to love.

Sparkles is playful, adventurous, and outgoing – but be warned she does have a cheeky streak that will make you laugh. She’s got the most irresistible eyes, and will often cast a spell on you just by resting her head on the side of an armchair or the edge of your desk. It’s hard to say no to her lovely gaze! Sparky really thrives with human engagement, play time and walks! Sparkles is a bouncy bean-machine and would love a backyard to zoom around in. A home with an equally playful snoot-sibling would be ideal. Sparkles is the perfect house guest, she’s toilet trained and sleeps through the night. She’s routine-orientated and adapts quickly, especially if treats are involved! Sparkles would do well with part-time workers, as she has shown some separation anxiety whilst in foster care, this is easily managed with enrichment toys and a canine friend to hang out with.

Whilst Sparkles has excellent leash manners, and has shown positive interactions with large sized dogs (including a German Short-haired Pointer), she will still need continued socialisation and training. Her new home will need to be willing to take her to obedience training classes, so that she can continue to positively identify with other dog breeds.

A bit of a gobble-guts when it comes to food, Sparkles is a real foodie and would benefit from a slow-feeder bowl. She’s got the puppy-eyes down pat, so you’ll have to watch your cheese and ham sandwich! You’ll need to make sure food is pushed back or out of reach on your kitchen bench, and your bin is tucked away in a cupboard.

Clear your schedule, this gorgeous gem and spirited sidekick is ready to fall in love with you. A similar sized canine companion would be preferred.

Not small dogs or cats.
No children under 12.
